I found this article earlier today or yesterday, can't recall. It doesn't have anything to do with the FS webisodes, but it is about the expanse into using the internet and webisodes. Which I hope will add to the success of Farscape as a web series.

3 minute "webisodes" to me is just the dumbest idea. I saw a couple the BSG webisodes and found them to be nothing more than extended promotional videos. 3 minutes is not enough to produce any kind of story. If the story is spread out over a period of weeks, then I have to ask who the hell want's to watch a 30 minute show over the course of weeks when you could just watch it in 30 minutes.
If this is a test to see whether to bring Farscape back, then fine. But if this is all the SciFi has to offer, well just another reason to hate the SciFi channel more I guess.

Some things have their time in the sun, and will never again be what they were. "Resurrecting" Farscape at this point wouldn't seem natural, and, although I've enjoyed watching the DVD's (I don't think I ever saw it when it was on), I feel that bringing the show back in first-run t.v. epsiodes would make any further stories seem forced.
"Webisodes" are, by their very nature, short, low-budget pieces. It would seem that the best use of the medium would be vignettes detailing the characters' backstories (How D'Argo met Lo'Laan, maybe, or how Chiana and her brother left their home planet.), or something that shows the main characters several years after the end of PK Wars.

Have any of you seen Sanctuary? That is not low budget. It is CGI heavy, but that's not low budget.
I have high hopes for the FS - web series and don't really have a problem with the eps being only about 3 - 6 minutes long. I'm thinking that once they know how big the following is/will be they might make them longer.
The thing is that using the web for series shows is a relatively new thing and most shows that I know of don't start out as full on half hour/hour shows. Most net savvy folks won't sit on a site long enough to watch a full hour or two hours of a show.sigpic

That is kind of what I am hoping these webisodes are all about. Seeing if there are enough fans out there still to justify bringing the show back full-time.sigpic
